How do you become an expert? The path begins with asking the correct questions. The first question is NOT “What’s New?” You should ask “What’s Great!”. That’s where I come in. My 33 years in magic has been incredible. Successful, check! I learned by hard work and learning from the very best. Many legends were friends, teachers and working partners. 

I was fortunate to always be around my best friends. Bob Sheets, Tim Conover, David Williamson, Michael Weber were around me constantly. I started my magic business with Daryl as my partner. My first teacher was the great Darwin Ortiz! I’ve been tied to Bob Fitch since the 1980’s.  I learned Show Business from my days as a guitarist with Dick Clark. I learned how to apply my pro musician career to pro magic working with Bill Herz. This is the secret. Hang out with the very best. Living in Las Vegas I get to see the best constantly. 

Experts need to wear a lot of hats. What you need to learn definitely depends on your goals.
Categories include Magic, Mentalism, Gambling, Business, Performance,  Stagecraft, Voice, Character, and how to truly become a professional level performer.

I design a plan for each One On One student by discussing your goals, understanding your strengths and weaknesses so we can be effective and save you years reaching your goal.

Formal Close Up, Parlor and Stage Shows

The journey takes time, effort, a true love of the art and a relentless nature.
If you are truly serious about really learning contact me. I’m looking for serious students.

Bob Kohler has been a top professional performer for over three decades. His client show credits are too extensive to list but they cover corporate, political, the rich and the famous.

First based in Washington D.C. Bob performed for a myriad of leaders from President Bush, Nancy Reagan, ambassadors, and congressmen. 

Bill Herz’ Magicorp was his next stop. Bob was on the “A”team with David Williamson, Tim Conover, Michael Weber and Bob Sheets. 

In 1989 Bob relocated to Los Angeles where his career grew with corporate clients such as Silicon Graphics, AT&T, Chevron plus celebrities galore from Jack Nicholson, Tom Selleck, Nicholas Cage and many more.

Las Vegas became home base in 1996. Bob Kohler Magic was created to produce products for professional magicians.

Aces In Their Faces was the first release to become a classic with over 80,000 sold. Other classic releases are Ultimate 3 Fly, Human Phone Number and the legendary Fitch Kohler Professional Holdout System. These started the continuing Pro Line of products.

Bob did training on a limited basis through the years but in 2003 he retired from shows outside of Las Vegas.

He changed his career by eliminating travel and focusing on intimate shows. Bob’s three one hour formal shows were Close up Magic, Mentalism or a Gambling Demonstration. Bob is still performing these formal shows for high rollers and celebrities in Las Vegas.

At the same time Bob opened up and started training many top working pros including Teller, Apollo Robbins, Criss Angel, Steve Cohen, Colin Cloud and many others one on one.

Workshops were also started on a variety of topics from magic, mentalism and gambling. Bob started bringing in top pro friends to help with the workshops. Jon Stetson, Lior Manor, Rod The Hop and other top shelf friends were incredible teachers.

Now as you are about to discover Bob is opening up a treasure trove of training adding the power of Zoom meetings, Training In Vegas and the new Instant Video Streaming Library.
